Product Description
Jason Hawkes, Britain's leading aerial photographer, has been taking to the skies with his camera for more than fifteen years. In this, his latest collection, he has trained his camera on the familiar and less familiar parts of London. Familiar parts of the city take on a new dimension when viewed from above, and this book lets you see landmarks as you've never seen them before. Each photograph is accompanied by informative text from leading travel author Donna Dailey. Donna has written several books on London and gives each picture an extra dimension with an extended caption. In the five features she gives greater detail on certain aspects of England's capital, namely Village London, London as a world capital, how the city grew, the city's green spaces and finally, its modern architecture.

This is an excellently presented book which delivers everything you would expect in a glossy, high-quality manner. The views are vivid and clear, fascinating to look at in detail or just glance at over coffee.
For anyone interested in London I would recommend this book heartily.

A present for my wife whose first contact in UK, 40 years ago, was as an au pair in London where she used to walk a lot on her time off. Though her English is good my wife enjoys panoramic and aerial views of the streets and areas she knew.
I had thought to buy pictures for the house but I could not make up my mind. Then I chanced on this picture book and another: problem solved.
The book has an index of locations, commentaries, marvelous aerial photographs including style shots of water filtration beds. My wife's memories are, with this book, being taken over by images of, to her, new items like the millennium bridge. However, my wife is happy remembering the locations (houses and hotels) where she used to work.

I bought this as a gift for someone that had lived in London for several months and they loved it! A good gift or just a good coffee table book.
